I bought this gun in 2005 when they came out. I took a long break from paintball, and now it's worth $200. Pretty disappointing for me, but certainly a well-priced pickup now. These guns had a design flaw where if you screw the grip screws in too far, they can pierce your solenoid and break a spring in it. Beware of this when buying one. Solenoids are very hard to come by now. Otherwise, the gun works fine...it kicks quite a bit, and is pretty loud, but once you learn how to maintain it you can trust it to work for you.

i had my ego 05 for about 4 months and the marker was pure sexy, it was great for people with big hands and i love poppets

it had a lot of leaking problems both from mine and many of my freinds ego 05's the bolt was crap, the dart bolt was crap and the cure bolt barly worked in it, the asa and reg were kinda crappy

**even tho all these parts were crappy they were only crappy for a high end marker

I have owned this gun since 05. i am the original owner for me. between now and 05, it has been my starting gun. I have tried using different markers, but always strayed back to the 05 STOCK! The only thing that has bugged me about it for years was the noise. But for me personally, when im playing idc how loud it is, since im always yelling anyway. ive seen some for sale for around $200, which is a great buy. thinking of picking another up for spare parts!!

I bought this gun brand new in 2005 in the UK for £1200 along with other guns along the way up to date ( all 17 of them ) and can honestly say the 05 EGO was the best buy I`ve ever bought, from the day I bought it until now I haven`t even changed an " o " ring , I sent It once to Planet to service and overhaul, It shoots ropes and can kick anyone`s arse out there playing sup-Air. keep It clean and look after It and It will look after you , just like to say I`ve used this the most over the x 5 years and still use It today, would like to mention that if you keep the pin holding the trigger clean then clear nail varnish the ends DO THIS and you`ll cherish this gun....Bluey www.care-bears-uk.com

my friend quit paintball so he had sold me an invert mini before and i traded him that for the ego. so i have the ego, and im looking to get some money to update my gun, its pretty old and im looking to see what i can afford. overall great marker and not a problem, never chopped balls, air leaks, or anything.

I bought an 05 ego back in 2006 or 2007 used, so please disregard the price paid.
back then the marker was great. For it's time the marker was fast, accurate and efficient. It does sound like you are shooting a cannon though, and mainly compared to markers now it was kind of heavyish. Although compared to markers now it is not as accurate, fast, or efficient either.
I loved my 05 ego. I had a ton of ups on it. If you can find one used I would reccommend it mainly for those that want to take a try at tourny speedball markers but don't want to spend over 300 currently as of 2011. Chances are you can find one with alot of upgrades. I do recommend for ups a new board, barrel, laser eyes, and feedneck. Although those can be considered a personal preference.

Although you do have to realize that as of 2011 parts for the 05 ego are a little harder to come by.
